Q: What types of personal injury and accident cases do you handle?
A: At Doyle & O’Donnell we handle all types of personal injury claims, including injuries caused by car accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, nursing home abuse, trucking accidents, boating accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, motorcycle accidents, train accidents, and any other case where someone else causes you or your loved one personal injury.
Q: If Doyle & O’Donnell doesn’t handle my particular type of case, can you refer me to a competent attorney that does?
A: Do not worry; we handle any type of case where people suffer an injury, including bicycle accidents. Often, motorists will try to blame a cyclist just for being on a bike. You need to contact our law firm, and we can discuss your case. Our consultation on a personal injury case is always free.
Q: Do you handle bicycle injury accident cases?
A: Yes, we handle bicycle injury accident cases. Call us immediately. Do not give the other person’s insurance company a statement until you have consulted with a lawyer. We make a point of returning all calls and e-mails promptly. If you have been in an accident and have suffered a personal injury, you need to know right away what insurance coverage is in place to cover your medical expenses and lost wages.
Q: How soon after a personal injury accident should I call you?
A: For adults, it is two years from the date of the injury. You have to either settle the case or file a lawsuit to protect the statute of limitations. People under 18 years old (minors) get until their 20th birthday.
There are many exceptions to these rules. If the defendant in your case is a California governmental entity, you must file a claim for damages with that specific governmental entity within six months of the accident date.
The governmental entity rule applies to both adults and minors. In uninsured motorist cases, the statute is two years for both adults and minors. These rules are for accidents that happen in California.
Other states may have different rules. Also, different rules apply to cases involving malpractice and fraud. In almost every category of case, there are exceptions to the usual rules.
To be sure of the statute of limitations in your case, consult Doyle & O’Donnell. We give free consultations. There is no obligation to you.
Q:What is the statute of limitation in California in a personal injury case?
A: Most personal injury cases settle before trial, but you want to maximize your settlement. If you hire a personal injury attorney who has little trial experience, oftentimes, they will be afraid to go to trial. Insurance companies know who these lawyers are, and they oftentimes offer them less than the case is worth.
